Found Deceased MN - Alayna Ertl, 5, Watkins, 20 Aug 2016 *Arrest*

[harperluu]

according to his facebook, he lives in Monticello, which is 13 hours away by car. I wonder what he was doing in Watkins?

Monticello is just north west of the Twin Cities and is a couple hours away from Watkins. At most 3 hours.

The only reason I can think of is a very bad one. Usually it is one of three things: custody battles, ransom or sexual gratification. I don't think it is either of the first 2 in this case.

I hope this doesn't end up like the Diana Alvarez case please let Alayna go.

"Our number one priority today is to find that girl and that continues to be our focus is the girl," said Meeker County Sheriff Brian Cruze.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS reporter Brett Hoffland asked Cruze if Anderson has been caught.

"We need to verify information from up north," said Cruze. "There are multiple agencies that are working with us. There's a lot of moving parts right now."
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that they have people involved in the search.

We spoke with a board member at Wilderness Park Estates, a residential community located in Meadow Brook Township in Cass County, who says she heard helicopters overhead.

I read a *rumour* the truck was found in Wilderness Park so this would make sense. It's about 115 miles north of Watkins

Suspect is co-worker of Alayna's dad.

Suspect is co-worker of Alayna's dad.

Anderson may have taken Ertl and stole her father’s white, 2002 GMC Sierra truck with license plate number 107 KMT.

They say Anderson works with the dad.

The father’s cell phone was in the stolen truck. It was last tracked 90 minutes away from Watkins in Todd County.

Has anyone had any luck coming up with information on this guy? I couldn't find ANYTHING outside of the AA.

Hubby drives Monticello thru Watkins frequently - about 2 hours.
